Now all that is needed is to get rid of Mitch McConnell's and Paul Ryan's "Leadership"

Keeping Campaign Promises and Doing Actual Work Makes
McConnell Want to Barf (or does he always look that way?).

Mitch McConnell Upset That President Trump Is Making Him Accountable for Once

August 8, 2017  Stephen Kruiser

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is not happy.
Having already been a spectacular failure at getting anything done on health care after eight months of the Republicans being in charge of, well, everything, McConnell seems to be very upset that the public is noticing.
Speaking at a Rotary Club gathering in Kentucky on Monday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vented about how President Donald Trump‘s lack of political experience has led to him setting “excessive expectations” for legislative priorities.
McConnell, R-Ky., told the group in Florence that he found it “extremely irritating” that Congress has earned the reputation of not accomplishing anything.
The thing is, they have actually earned the reputation.
After the Republicans won back the Senate in 2014, McConnell was fond of saying that the GOP just needed to win the White House to get anything done. It was weak-the party should have been able to accomplish something with both chambers of Congress in hand-but not ridiculous. If the Republicans had passed anything significant President Obama certainly would have vetoed and they didn’t have a veto-proof majority.
Now it seems that was all just so much convenient cover for dysfunction and a lack of will.
